First I must apologize for not including the verse numbers for last week. 
They were 1 Chronicles 16:23 - 31.

In the rush that seems to always come after Thanksgiving til Christmas
there is that tendency to get so involved with things of the world that we
have little time for the things of God.  Let us take this time right now to
come before our Heavenly Father with thanks from grateful hearts for His
glorious provision, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  He is the priceless
gift to the world given in a love that is beyond measure.  The gift that
brings life and light to a world in darkness.  

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."  John
3:l6

"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord."  Romans 6:23

"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves, it is the gift of God; NOT (my emphasis) as a result of works,
that no one should boast." Eph 2:8-9

"Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love.." 
Eph 5:1-2a

"O come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
 Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.
 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;
 Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.
 For the Lord is a great God."  Psa 95:l-3a

In all our preparation for Christmas may our Lord be glorified.
